About Me

"It takes all kinds," the man softly muttered, swirling his coffee in its stained coffee mug. He took a sip, winced at its luke-warm bitterness, then pulled himself slowly to his feet.

He nodded once at his half-finished breakfast, and again at me. "It takes all kinds," He said, staring at me with colorless eyes. We held that gaze for no longer than a second, and then he turned away.

Then, without so much as a glance at the other patrons, he shuffled out. I watched him go, chewing his last words while cleaning up the slight mess he left on the counter.

What did he mean by that? Why did he say it? I dropped the old plate into it's plastic collector, and idly tossed the fork and knife in with it. That completed, I took the coffee pot off its burner and circled the restaurant, still mentally questioning his phrase. It really didn't seem to make any sense.

It was about five minutes after he shuffled out of sight that I realized he hadn't paid.

Comment on Vacation PicturesofQuickshotsjimmydabomb, October 11th, 2015, 2:35 pmVacationsI like not going anywhere. I like not dressing like an adult. I like having coffee. Life is best when life is simple. Right?

Right?

Comment on SelfieofQuickshotsjimmydabomb, October 10th, 2015, 1:05 amQuickshots will probably update every Friday until I run out of comics.

This is the last comic I have to share right now. If I don't make more. This may be the last until we go on another 3-year hiatus.

Fingers are crossed.

Comment on Happy Birthday, KidofQuickshotsjimmydabomb, October 10th, 2015, 1:05 amThis is a new version of an old comic that I found in my notebooks. My art style has changed significantly in the last few years.

Comment on EditingofQuickshotsjimmydabomb, October 10th, 2015, 1:03 amWritingI've been working on a novel that's about 90 thousand words long. I've now gone through with pen and commented on about 60 thousand of them.

I can't imagine that I'll like the next 30k.

I think it's actually some kind of hell where before you can be a successful writer, you have to come to terms with how completely you're failing to actually be a writer.

Does this mean that I can't claim to be back until 3 years have passed?

I have no idea.

We changed hosts and I lost the ability to meaningfully make use of the http://qs-labs.com website, so for now, I'm pointing everything to my fancy facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/quickshotscomics

If you're the type of person to like things, you might like me there.

If it turns out that Quickshots really is back, I will be looking into a more permanent home. SmackJeeves sorta feels like an old school or job that I used to be at. Not the home it once was.

Anyway, enjoy!

Comment on Highly EvolvedofQuickshotsjimmydabomb, March 20th, 2012, 10:01 pm.I like how mad he looks. It's almost as if a dozen such couples have come in that night, and he's just sick of it.

Comment on HauntingofQuickshotsjimmydabomb, March 20th, 2012, 9:58 pmThis comic actually reminds me a lot of my first quickshots. The joke is not that complicated, but I giggle every time.

And yes, the entire point of this comic is making me giggle. My giggle is charming, damnit.

Comment on Skyrim guards are weird.ofQuickshotsjimmydabomb, March 20th, 2012, 9:57 pmArrow in the kneeI like commenting on memes long after they've hit their popularity peak. I have no idea why. My lolcats comic came out years after lolcats were a thing. The same is true for my firefly comic.
